Application

Interleukin-4 from mouse has been used:
  • as a component of cell culture media for class switch recombination assay
  • to study its therapeutic benefits for mucosal healing
  • as a pioglitazone or new peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist (GQ-11)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a lymphokine with profound effects on the growth and differentiation of immunologically competent cells. IL-4 is also known as B cell stimulatory factor-1 (BSF-1), T cell growth factor-2 (TCGF-2) and mast-cell growth factor-2 (MCGF-2). Inhibits VEGF-induced and FGF-Basic-induced angiogenesis. IL-4 is a complex glycoprotein released by a subset of activated T cells. Treatment of IL-4 with specific glycosidases yields an active polypeptide. Human and mouse IL-4 share 50% amino acid sequence homology, but their biological actions are species-specific.

Physical form

Lyophilized, 0.2 μm filtered, with no additives.

Analysis Note

The proliferative activity is tested in culture using mouse HT-2 cells.

Interleukin Family (IL)

The Interleukins comprise a disparate group of cytokines and growth factors that are produced by and released from leukocytes. Interleukin-1β (1L-1β) is released primarily from stimulated macrophages and monocytes and plays a key role in inflammatory and immune responses and may induce anti-tumor immunity.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
